There’s no doubting that the Central Coast of NSW is a beautiful place to live. From beaches and National Parks to world-class dining and entertainment, the Coast is the place to be. And in today's crazy climate, with property prices on the Central Coast increasing exponentially, it’s becoming even more important to present the property you’re selling in the best light. With just a few simple changes, you can update your home and increase its value at the same time. Here are some easy tips to help guide you through presenting your property so that it sells at the top of the price guide.
1. Painting
A fresh coat of paint could be just what your property needs. The first thing potential new buyers see when they visit your property is the exterior. Consider your property’s street appeal, and look at painting the exterior to immediately freshen things up. Internally, lighter and brighter colours can make smaller rooms look bigger. Patching and repairing dents or damage to walls before painting can really give rooms a new lease on life, and all at a very cost-effective price.
2. Landscaping
A beautiful garden and outdoor area can both enhance a property’s beauty and also add an extra ‘room’ to the property. Firepits, outdoor play spaces for the kids, and shaded entertainment and BBQ areas all enhance your home. Attractive and eye-catching plants, trees and hedges can also transform the vibe of your home, making it feel fresh and welcoming.
3. Updating Internal Lighting
No potential buyer wants to walk into a gloomy and dark space. Modern lighting ensures your home feels polished and up-to-date. Replacing old lighting fixtures with modern shapes and styles can give rooms a fresh new look at a low cost. Down-lights are always a good investment, and a well-lit space will highlight your property’s good sides.
4. Interior Design & Decluttering
Updating room décor and decluttering your space are easy ways to refresh your home and ensure that the potential for each room can be seen. Simple, clean designs for furniture, decorative features and wall hangings will showcase your space and help you get the best possible selling price.
Modernizing your rooms can be done by adding inexpensive touches with rugs, lamps or artwork to freshen the look. Little touches can make the biggest impression.
5. Kitchen Revamp
You don’t have to replace your whole kitchen, but consider smaller updates such as replacing taps, cupboard handles or outdated fitted appliances. A new oven or dishwasher, fresh paint on the cupboard doors or even installing a new splashback will all reinvigorate your kitchen without costing big bucks. Potential buyers will want a usable kitchen that is functional, tidy and visually appealing.
Whether you’re selling your primary residence or an investment property, these low-cost upgrades will help drive the asking price up, and enable you to sell your home quickly and easily.
